CROSS COUNTRY TRAINING

We have been training for our Cross Country day for about 6 weeks, including some of last term. I am so proud of the dedication and determination of our students. The farm track was tough and Room 8 you did so well! Congratulation to all of you! Well done to the students who are going to East Group!

WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL FOR TERM 2 LEARNING!

Thanks Room 18 Cotswold School

Our Get NZ Writing courier turned up this week and the students of Room 18 at Cotswold school have done a great job with their poster and postcards. We really enjoyed being able to read the metaphors children wrote about themselves. Thanks heaps! We hope you enjoy ours just as much!

Homework: Due 24th March

Food

During our Learning to Learn unit, the children asked me if food has an affect on our learning.

Impacts

Miss W use to be an Energizer so she was able to tell us about GO, GLOW and GROW foods that help our bodies

Learning

She was impressed with some of our lunch boxes. We were surprised that potato chips are a treat.

Water Safety Week

This week is water safety week for our room. We have created a wave in our school pool which saw water gush over each end the pool. Children were challenged to float on their backs while the waves went back and forth to feel what it would be like if we were stuck in the ocean. Yesterday was deep diving day where children were challenged to head to the bottom of the pool for many of the activities. We have made a lot of noise and had a lot of fun!

Making us Proud

Water confidence and swimming is so important when we live in a country that is surrounded by water. Last week we were so proud of two of our classmates that made a new learning pathway in their brain. Maycie and Zach took their feet off the bottom of the pool and kicked across the pool with the help of a learning buddy. We are so proud of you. Special thanks to Brody and Jorja for helping Maycie and Zach make that pathway.
